Chapter 170: These Family Roles Are Getting Messy
"Here we are!"
After parking the car, Bai Shishi asked, "Do you need me to go with you?"
"Just picking up an exam ticket, I’ll be back in a moment. Soon you have to drag me to check out the test site!" Lin Tian said as he opened the car door and got out.
After getting out of the car, Lin Tian walked into the high school.
As he walked, he suddenly realized that since he had transferred to this school, he hadn’t attended any classes and didn’t know which class he was in, let alone who to ask for the exam ticket.
Helplessly, he could only call Liou Qingcheng.
"Hello, is this Liou Qingcheng?" Lin Tian asked when the call connected.
"Hmph, you remembered to call me, huh?" came Liou Qingcheng’s complaining voice from the other side.
"Something came up recently, sorry about that!"
Lin Tian smiled and explained. He had been busy reading in the hospital, naturally unable to keep in touch with Liou Qingcheng.
"An apology is all I get? Not even a meal?" Liou Qingcheng started negotiating conditions with Lin Tian.
Hearing this, Lin Tian knew exactly what she was after: "Just a meal? Sure, I’ll treat you!"
"That’s more like it!" Liou Qingcheng’s anger clearly subsided, and her tone softened. "You called today to ask about your exam ticket, right?"
"Yeah, I just wanted to know who to get the ticket from," Lin Tian said, embarrassed.
"I have your exam ticket. I picked it up for you while checking out the test site!"
Liou Qingcheng paused, then continued, "My test site is at this school, and yours is at another school. If you want your exam ticket, come find me here!"
Hearing Liou Qingcheng’s words, Lin Tian felt it was quite a coincidence: "I’m right at the school gate now!"
"Then wait for me at the gate. I’ll come find you after I check out the test site!"
"Alright, I’ll wait for you at the school gate!"
After hanging up, Lin Tian put his phone in his pocket, suddenly feeling that Liou Qingcheng was really nice. So thoughtful at such a young age—whoever marries her will be really lucky.
"Hey~ I thought you looked familiar, turns out you’re the top student!"
As Lin Tian pondered, someone suddenly approached him.
Looking towards the voice, he saw Li Qiang standing in front of him with a backpack.
"Hey~ isn’t this our class’s top student, the good student Li Qiang!"
Lin Tian mimicked Li Qiang’s tone and replied.
"The top student is here to check out the test site too? Do you think you can cheat your way to the top city rank again in the exams?"
Li Qiang’s words were clearly sarcastic, implying that Lin Tian couldn’t have achieved top rank with his own ability and must have somehow obtained the answers or cheated.
After all, it’s hard to believe a student who ranked at the bottom suddenly became the top student.
"Before criticizing others, think about how many points you can score yourself. Don’t assume you’re the best just because you study all day!"
Lin Tian snorted, disdainful of Li Qiang living in his own world.
"I do study better than you. Though I may not get the top city rank, I can definitely get into a top-tier university. What about you? Have you decided which vocational or community college you’ll attend after the exams?"
Li Qiang’s words dripped with condescension towards Lin Tian.
Lin Tian followed Li Qiang’s lead but cleverly retorted: "A vocational or community college like Kanyue City Medical University obviously wouldn’t catch the eye of a good student like Li Qiang!"
"Kanyue City Medical University?"
Li Qiang snorted, "Let’s see if you can even get in before bragging!"
Lin Tian’s expression suddenly turned serious, and his tone became impatient: "Are you done?"
"Finished!" Li Qiang smiled smugly, feeling quite pleased with himself. "Did I hit a sore spot? Feeling upset?"
"Are you an idiot?"
Unable to resist cursing, Lin Tian said impatiently, "If you’re done, get lost, or I’ll beat you up!"
That word alone startled Li Qiang.
When it came to studies, Li Qiang was very confident.
When it came to exams, Li Qiang could score high.
But in other matters, he was absolutely terrible.
As for fighting, forget it.
Li Qiang, who spent long hours sitting and studying, naturally lacked physical exercise and was as weak as a chick.
So, just one "beat" word from Lin Tian scared Li Qiang into silence.
"The world is full of people like you who lack knowledge, culture, and manners, which is why there are so many fights every day. You’re all brawn and no brain!"
Li Qiang tossed a remark, then quickly walked away.
Hearing Li Qiang’s words, Lin Tian couldn’t help but laugh, shouting loudly at his retreating figure, "The world is full of people like you who think they know it all, which is why there are so many problems. You think you’re smart, but you’re actually an idiot!"
"You can only boast now. Do you dare to outscore me in the exams?"
Li Qiang said proudly, "The exams are a dividing line. After they’re over, people like me are destined to become elite, while you’ll be part of the lower class. You may not understand this now, but you will!"
"Actually, I think your social status is more about who your dad is, rather than exams," Lin Tian countered.
"In terms of family background, you’re no match for me!" Li Qiang said with a strong sense of superiority.
"Since you’re so confident, why don’t we make a bet?" Lin Tian, annoyed by Li Qiang’s arrogance, decided to put him in his place.
"A bet? What kind of bet?" Li Qiang was instantly intrigued.
For some reason, when facing lower-ranked students, Li Qiang always felt superior, a sense of superiority welling up within him.
"Let’s bet on the exam results. We’ll exchange phone numbers, and on the day the results come out, we’ll call each other. Whoever scores lower is the loser, agreed?" Lin Tian proposed the bet.
"Do we even need to bet? I’ll definitely win!"
Li Qiang was fully confident. The exams wouldn’t allow cheating, and there was no way to get the answers in advance.
Under such circumstances, Lin Tian couldn’t possibly cheat.
If he couldn’t cheat, Lin Tian’s scores couldn’t possibly surpass his own!
So, this bet was in the bag for Li Qiang. He couldn’t even comprehend losing.
"I just ask if you’re daring enough to play?" Lin Tian was equally confident.
"Play, of course, I’ll play! Why wouldn’t I?" Li Qiang had no reason to refuse this bet.
On the contrary, he found it not thrilling enough: "This bet is too small and boring. How about we add something more?"
"Add what?" Lin Tian initially wanted to teach Li Qiang a lesson, but Li Qiang himself suggested adding conditions.
He was looking for trouble himself, so he couldn’t complain.
"The loser not only has to admit defeat but also has to call the other ’dad’, how about that?" Li Qiang expressed his idea.
First admit defeat?
Then call ’dad’?
Lin Tian was speechless; the hierarchy was getting a bit confusing...
